That's because they all use a Windows provided edit bufffer of approx 32k in
size.

If you mean the page at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/qs/editlogs.html

It discusses this very problem in some detail:

Since you will need to e-mail your edited notebook log back to the server, you
must use an e-mail program that can handle very large messages in the e-mail
text editor: 

- The following e-mail programs are known to have difficulty handling large
messages of the kind needed to successfully edit Archives: AOL, Juno, Hotmail,
Yahoo, Compuserve. The popular mail programs Eudora and Pegasus may also have
problems editing archives because of an editor buffer size limitation. 

- Mail programs that do work, though you may need to become familiar with their
features: MS Internet Mail, Netscape Mail, Agent. 

(NOTE: The above list of mail programs is not all-inclusive. Nor does it imply
any recommendation but is for informational purposes only. As List Owner, you
will wish to investigate the capabilites and restrictions of several of the many
mail programs available and make an informed decision about what you prefer to
use.) 

(Agent is my favorite, Pine also works.)
